Questions persist about how Jeffrey Epstein, who once moved among the world's elite, was able to avoid federal prosecution for so long. A timeline suggests some answers.

As President Donald Trump struggles to contain the fallout over his ties to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, lawmakers on Capitol Hill and officials within his own administration are turning to Ghislaine Maxwell, the financier’s longtime co-conspirator and sometime girlfriend.

Important people want to talk to Gislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirator serving 20 years in a prison in Florida. Here's what to know.

Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein partied together for more than a decade. One became president, the other died in jail.

Peacock, Investigation Discovery and Vice are among the streamers and studios that have delved into the convicted sex offender's life, crimes and death.

The investigation into Epstein's crimes began in Palm Beach, Florida, where he faced initial charges and entered a controversial plea deal. Trump, a former friend of Epstein, faces scrutiny due to past associations and a recent lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal over a lewd letter.

During Mr. Trump's first term, his labor secretary, Alexander Acosta, resigned following criticism of his handling of Epstein's 2008 plea deal when he was a federal prosecutor in Florida. Epstein served 13 months in a jail work-release program after he was originally accused of sexually abusing dozens of girls and young women.
